Here’s a preview of what you’ll learn

The Aurora Wrap

Choose an elegant fabric to wear when you’re out for the evening or select a knit fabric to make your next wrap to keep at your office for those days when the air conditioning is too cool. There are two ways to sew the Aurora Wrap—Mary and I show you both options.

Reading Wrap

With a book or an e-reader in your hand and this wrap around you, you’re all set for a warm and relaxing reading session. If you prefer a lighter-weight fabric, use the optional cutting line to transform the wrap front into a dressy pocket version.

On Point Wrap

Turn a large square scarf, which you haven’t been wearing anyway, into a flowing coverup to wear for an evening walk or a chill chaser over a sundress. The key to success is to add a faced neckline opening to the scarf—learn how on Sewing With Nancy. Find all the instructions in Mary’s book, plus the neckline patterns.

Two Scarf Wrap

Sometime two identical scarves are just waiting for you to buy, take home, and sew only two seams. As Bobbie Jo can attest, the end wrap is delightful to wear!

Sweatshirt Wrap

This repurposing project makes use of a sweatshirt body and a necktie for a casual cover up. Check closets for sweatshirts and neckties no longer being worn and turn them into a wrap that is perfect for shopping at the Farmer’s Market.

Two-Button Wrap

Choose soft and warm fabric or recycle sweaters as shown here to create this wrap, which is a perfect extra layer. Accent the wrap with large, interesting buttons. The closure for this two-button wrap can be symmetrical or…offset. Let your mood influence your style.

TheAll Occasion Fabric Wrapsbook includes step-by-step instructions for 14 easy to sew fabric wraps! Soon I’ll be making the wrap featured on the cover, the Circle Wrap. It’s an amazing shape with great style!

Was hoping to find the pattern for the neck hole on the beach towel wrap…am I missing it?
Thank you however for the terrific ideas!

My favorite is the two scarf wrap. It’s so easy and can be casual or classy. I’ve made many of them.

Donna FecteauMay 17, 2016

I want at least one of each! the scarf wrap is first on my list as I have many of the big square scarves that I no longer wear that way and this will give them a second life in my wardrobe. I think next I will make the sweatshirt one and add some machine embroidery to it.

I love the aurora and the On Point wraps. Hard to decide, but I think Aurora wins.

DianaMay 15, 2016

I love the Aurora wrap. It would be perfect made out of lightweight fabric to cover the upper arms when wearing a sleeveless top. All the designs are lovely and I would be honored to win this book. Thanks for the inspiration.

E. AnnMay 15, 2016

My favorite is the Aurora wrap (both options) with the two scarf wrap a close wrap!!!! Thanks for the ideas..

pgfMay 15, 2016

It is a tossup between the Aurora and the Two Scarf wraps.
Both are elegant and I would love to make them.

Decisions decision. I was only able to narrow down to two: the two button wrap and would definitely recycle sweaters for this!–or the reading wrap, such a great looking alternative to jacket or sweater for cold weather.

JaneMay 14, 2016

Reading wrap, and sweater, I can see alot of possibilites

CarolMay 13, 2016

All of the wraps are cute. My first choice is the reading wrap which I can use while relaxing in my recliner!

Nancy E JohnsonMay 13, 2016

I love the idea of merging two identical scarves into a wrap.

JudyMay 12, 2016

First I would make the Aurora wrap for an upcoming wedding then the On Point wrap then one for each of the young girls in the family of their choice.
They make great Christmas or anytime gifts.

JudyMay 12, 2016

I’d like one of each wrap but I think I’d make the Aurora wrap first for an upcoming wedding and then the On Point wrap. Then as the young women in the family saw the wraps I’d make one for each of them. Their choice, of course. They’d make easy, fast Christmas or birthday gifts. All the climates are included in the patterns and also the bookworms would have their very own special wrap.

Mary WippoldMay 12, 2016

Decisions, decisions, decisions! I would like to make all of these wraps. I’m torn between the Aurora and the On Point wraps. Which one I made first would depend on finding the perfect fabric.

BonnyeMay 12, 2016

They are all so beautiful. I would make several. Can not decide which one to make first. I think the Aurora wrap.

Love the Aurora wrap! It is so classy. Also love the reading wrap which would be perfect while I am at the computer, as I am always cold!

JoyceMay 12, 2016

I love the reading wrap!

JeanneMay 12, 2016

I really like the the reading wrap and would make great use of it.

Vinci GrecoMay 12, 2016

I love the reading wrap!! Easy and convenient to have.

KayZeeMay 12, 2016

Is the first picture, the sheer black with white embroidery, the Aurora wrap? If so, then that’s my favorite. SO elegant!

Stephanie RichardMay 12, 2016

I love the idea of repurposing so my favorite is the sweatshirt wrap with the men’s tie.

Denise WilkinsMay 12, 2016

I love the reading wrap, it would keep my shoulders warm. The pockets are a great space for paper and pen or for a favorite book. I could see warming my hands in the pockets with the “instant hand warmer packs”.

LindaMay 12, 2016

I love them all but the Aurora Wrap is my favorite – it can be beautiful all dressed up or casual with jeans and a T-shirt. And they all lend themselves to fun embellishments!

sherriMay 12, 2016

my favoties are the reading wrap and the aurora

Jodi BowldenMay 12, 2016

Sign me up for the Aurora Wrap. Looks like a good addition when you get dressed up.

Karen BMay 12, 2016

I love the aurora wrap for dress, and the reading wrap. The reading wrap would be great for my mother, and gifts for others. Thanks so much for wonderful ideas.

StarlaMay 12, 2016

I especially love the two-button wrap!

Catherine GregoireMay 12, 2016

I like them all but the Aurora wrap would be the one that I like best.

JanetMay 12, 2016

I love the Aurora Wrap! It is just beautiful and feminine. I immediately thought of gifts I could make, after practicing on my own Aurora Wrap first!

PatMay 12, 2016

The On-Point wrap is my favorite. I love the idea of re-purposing a currently unused item into something that will be worn.

CyndiMay 12, 2016

I love the lace wrap to pair with an evening dress. I live in Arizona and other wraps are too heavy!!

Thank you for the giveaway.

BMay 12, 2016

My most favorite wrap is the aurora wrap. It’s very fun looking and depending on any embellishments, looks like it can be dressed up for a nite out or worn casually while running errands. Love the versatility of the look.

Sharyn DavisMay 12, 2016

The Aurora wrap is my favorite, but the reading wrap is a close second.

Cait JohnsonMay 12, 2016

I love the pink reading wrap.
My entry has a typo on my last name. It is Johnson, NOT kohnsom

Joanne P.May 12, 2016

I like the Aurora Wrap best. Would make one for my two daughters who work in air conditioned offices…

VickyMay 12, 2016

They are all great wraps. I really like the idea of repurposing old sweaters!

Cait KohnsonMay 12, 2016

I love that pink reading wrap. It is longer in the back for added warmth to the kidney area.

Rita MadsenMay 12, 2016

I work with reclaimed wool, so love the sweater wrap and the reading wrap. I have a beautiful plaid blanket in mind for the reading wrap.

Jean PMay 12, 2016

I would certainly make several of the wraps, but my favorite is the Reading Wrap. It just looks so cozy! And I often need one that covers just that much.

Diane CMay 12, 2016

I like the reading wrap

Linda E in AZMay 12, 2016

I’m intrigued by the Circle Wrap.
thanks!

Mary GreenMay 12, 2016

Heading into summer here in TX, it’s gotta be the Aurora wrap. But the Reading Wrap caught my eye, for wintertime reads.

I adore the Aurora Wrap; it is very stylish and yet holds the appeal of being very comfortable for everyday. Thank You for the opportunity to win such a spectacular prize!

Susan NicolMay 12, 2016

I like the Aurora wrap. It would be nice to have at the office.

Nadine NakanoMay 12, 2016

Love all the wraps- the recycled sweater wrap looks so earthy – I guess that would be my favorite!

roberta godfrey-darrMay 12, 2016

The sweatshirt wrap would be my favorite.

BevMMay 12, 2016

When not sewing, I read. I should make the reading wrap.

Marsha DavidsonMay 12, 2016

I will forever be a lemming but wish, just once, I could be like Nancy and have a creative thought in my head.

NeldaMay 12, 2016

Wow, I like all of these ideas! I am always getting a sudden light chill that the lighter weight ones would be perfect to solve. However, the one made from a scarf sitting in a drawer unused really set off a light bulb for me, as I have a number of beautiful scarves that would be perfect for the project, allowing me to make better use of items I love but leave lying in the drawer unused.

Thanks!

Carol PMay 12, 2016

I like the reading wrap, they are all very pretty and I like the idea of recycling!
